ICT  BARRIERS IN SA EDUCATION


There are many ICT barriers in South african education, especially in rural areas.Students lack ICT information and background.

Most of  schools which  are situated in rural areas does not have access to computers either electricity.Some schools have them but not enough to cover all students. sometimes learners are not allowed to use the computers whereas they are meant for them.  


OTHER ICT  BARRIERS

*Limited resources
*Poverty, crime and drug abuse
*Lack of knowledge and skills
*Lack of qualified ICT teachers
*Crowded classrooms

my school where i am from there were computers and they were donated by vodacom millionaires, the school principal once told us that if anyone of us is willing to learn them, he or she must pay a certain amount, because of my background my parent failed to pay that fee. i never got that opportunity  to learn computer at my secondary levels neither primary levels .As foundation phase teachers we must have the knowledge ,skills and support our learners needs, in order to be used to technology. We must teach them what they suppose to know for   their bright future ahead .
